Good GOD, Jackie! (I read the article.)

And people tell me I'm not normal b/c I don't just accept my children roaming the streets in cars, hanging out, going from friend's house to friend's house, using fake ID's to get beer... etc. ["WE did it when WE were teenagers, and WE turned out okay." My reply to that is: I didn't do it when I was a teenager, and I turned out okay, too.]

When I read the case you gave me link to this AM, I said, "Oh I gotta tell Dev about what's going down here!"
My little man has been addressing "freedom issues" at counseling and he just can't understand why I won't let him too far from home, I need to know which friend's house he is at all the time! I was really mad at him a few weeks ago because he went from one kid's house to another down the street without telling me. I was so frantic looking for him, and when he heard me whistling for him, he came out. He was grounded for a week!
But like I said, no child, male or female is safe out there anymore.
My brother who lives right in the immediate area where this is happening also has a young son. His sister-in-law lives a few blocks from this creep in Hammond, IN.
